Supporters included United States presidential candidate, Joseph Biden, basketball star Lebron James, and leader of the Southern Baptist Convention, Russell Moore.

The two men who allegedly pursued and killed Arbery while he was jogging, Gregory McMichael and his son, Travis McMichael, were both charged with murder and aggravated assault. They have been booked into a jail in Glynn County, Georgia. Sign below to thank the “I Run With Maud” movement for their hard work bringing justice to Ahmaud Arbery.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Mr. Baker,

As you know, there were many shortcomings in Ahmaud Arbery’s case. The justice system failed to charge anyone until almost three months after his murder.

Your movement put nationwide pressure on Georgia’s justice system and now the McMichael’s are behind bars. Thank you for all your hard work protesting Arbery’s murder and bringing him justice.

As far as is been found, all evidence points to a crime of hate. Then again, hate has been among mankind since creation. What a shame there are still those who have not learn God’s life golden rule yet. My condolences to Mr. Arbery’s family and friends.
